Lesson L.
Meh.
The drs don’t really discuss things with you. You fill out a questionnaire and then are prescribed meds based on what you checked off a list. There’s no real communication between the dr and yourself. And in less than 3mos, I suddenly had a new dr. When I raised concerns, nothing was really addressed by either dr - no questions asked, no info communicated. Not a thorough, whole approach. It felt less customized and more like a one size fits all approach. I can get that from my PCP. I was hoping for care from peri/menopausal experts who would be thorough and thoughtful with the care being prescribed.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, Lesson Learned. We strive to provide a comprehensive approach to care, and we're sorry that your experience fell short of your expectations. Our doctors are not able to speak on the phone or conduct video calls due to privacy restrictions within our platform. All communication is completed via written exchange within your patient portal so that you and the doctor have a record of it. Patients have the ability to message their Winona doctor at any time and as often as they would like. There are no restrictions on communications, and the doctors strive to reply within 24 hours. We are also sorry for any confusion related the changing of your Winona provider. If any patient is accepted under a doctor's care (either online or in a brick and mortar office), then the doctor has an ethical and legal responsibility to ensure their patients have access to care, even when they are unavailable (i.e. vacations, sickness, leaving the practice, etc.) This means arrangements for their patients are made to receive care during their absence, such as by arranging for coverage with other physicians or providing patients with information about alternative care options. We also assure you that your HRT treatment plan is prescribed based on your unique symptoms and their severity. There is no "one size fits all" approach as each woman is unique and has a different health history and needs. Due to privacy restrictions, we are not able to view any messages between you and your Winona doctor, but our Patient Care department will be happy to assist you further if you are not happy with your new provider! A member of our Patient Care Team has emailed you for further support! We want to ensure that all our patients feel confident in their treatment plan and receive the personalized attention they deserve.
